I fully agree…But with the correct preparation. Scattergun employment into difficult or dangerous industries without preparation increases risk of reoffending. Let’s work to prepare prisoners for lives beyond the walls and the risks they face.

Nurses have done some incredible things in my time in Prisons, saved countless lives in difficult circumstances. I fully support their plight and hope for a brighter future with the NHS. Thank You to them for their service and good luck. Ali

Let’s talk…

Tragic. What an incredible human being and a lifetime of kindness for those who will benefit. RIP Joe. I wish the POA the very best with their campaign and support to HMP Liverpool with their loss. God Bless.

Had to share this. Very warm feeling for the human race right now. Unreal
